I don't know. I mean this isn't exactly something that comes up for me. Like, ever.
I should tell him, right? He didn't exactly come off all that happy I was here [Or at least that's how it felt to her.] So do I really want to kick the hornet's nest? I can just give him space and keep out of the way - let you guys all catch up.
[Because isolating herself is the best course of action in her mind right now.]
I don't regret my choices and I'm not gonna apologize for them.
Since I ended up on this side of things. [She sighs, trying to not get overwhelmed.] All I want for him is to have a good life... And that is probably without me - doing his own thing and living his life to the fullest.
[A life she went through a lot to help him keep.]
I've changed so much - I'm sure he has too. It's probably for the best.
[Thank you friend.] I was gone for 6 months. [No hanging out and at least having him to talk to. Nada.] I can't blame him for moving on, considering I wasn't even sure I'd be coming back.
[And yeah, about that elephant.] Damon and I aren't dating, we're not even exclusive. [No matter what feelings she might be developing.] I don't even know how to handle any of this.
I don’t - I don’t know. What if I just said neither? What if - [What if she did the noble thing and just cut all the complicated romantic bull out of her life? Or as much of it as she could attempt to without it biting her in the ass.] I might just spend more time at school, work on helping the Occult Studies department… Do my part.
You deserve to be happy, Bon. [ she's not exactly encouraging you to go for it with damon in so many words, hell hasn't frozen over yet, bonnie. but she does want bonnie to be happy.]

So... Jeremy's here?
[And those three words are the summary of her confusion, panic, worry, and inability to deal with this right now.]
Re: voice »
Bonnie! Um, yeah... he just... swiped right on my cuddlr app. Just to say hi.

[Awkward x 1000.
She'll be back with you in a moment, Caroline. She's gonna so something stupid that she'll immediately regret.]
Well, I had wondered how things might go after the whole coming back from the prison world. Could be worse.
[She's not really sure how, but there were ways.]

You're kind of avoiding mentioning the Damon-shaped elephant in the room.

Do what makes you happy.

[She gives a sharp clearing of her throat, glad that it’s voice and not video.]
Look, I’ve changed since you last saw me - since the last time I was home. It’s best if I just… If I don’t, okay?
